Make Claude Code 100x BETTER (Context Engineering)

If Claude Code keeps forgetting things, missing context, or not following your instructions—your problem isn't bad prompting. It's context engineering. In this video, I break down the single most important concept for getting better results from Claude Code (and any AI agent): how to give it the right information at the right time. 🧠 What You'll Learn: • What context engineering is and why it matters more than prompt engineering • How Claude Code actually uses your context window (and why 90% gets ignored) • 5 practical techniques to optimize context: CLAUDE.md, hooks, progressive disclosure, subagents, and memory • How to use claude-trace to see exactly what Claude is "seeing" when it runs • Real examples of poor vs. optimized context (and the massive difference in results) Join my free newsletter for AI tips and techniques to automate repetitive work https://theailaunchpad.substack.com/ 🎥 Watch Next 1.
